After finishing a large bowl of porridge, Xia He and her group all let out a satisfied burp. Lin Yu, watching from the side, couldn't help but grin and asked, "Miss Xia, is that enough? If you're not full, I'll get you another bowl."
"No need, I'm already full. *burp* Sorry, I'm a little stuffed." Such a big bowl, Miss Song is too generous.
Song Tantan's face clearly showed the words "I can't bear to look." Lin Yu must be blinded by lust. He's already fallen in love with a girl he's only just met?
Xia He is indeed pretty, but her looks are slightly inferior to Hong Meigui's, who has the advantage in figure. However, they are both beauties. Lin Yu is really a womanizer who falls for women at first sight. This time, he will probably only be interested for a short time. Once he sees Xia He's shortcomings, he will definitely start to dislike her again.
After all, Lin Yu is single by choice.
"Miss Song, shall we begin now?" Xia He's tone sounded like a question, but she was actually eager to start the competition.
"No rush, take it easy. We just ate, and if we run too fast, we might throw up what we ate. We need to digest it." Song Tantan sat still.
Hearing this, Xia He gave a stiff smile. Seeing Lin Yu clearing the dishes, she quickly went to help, "We'll wash these dishes ourselves, don't bother." She was so eager to compete and get the antidote that she put the bowl down after eating, not even thinking to wash it properly. How rude of her!
"It's alright, I'll do it. You sit still and don't move. I'll wash these dishes quickly." The young men in Songlin Village are all very capable. They don't have the concept of "gentlemen staying away from the kitchen." They have to be able to do everything, especially now that they are in the transportation business. They have to do many of the trivial things in life themselves. Washing a few dishes is nothing.
Song Tantan glanced speechlessly at the two who were pushing each other away, hissed, and quickly got up to leave with Ye Moxun. Ye Moxun went back to his room to get something and came out again.
"Are you leaving now?" Song Tantan knew that he was going to the nearest town to conduct research today. She actually wanted to go with him, but she had made an appointment with Xia He and couldn't break her promise. She looked conflicted.
"Set off early and come back before dark. Be careful. Taishan and the others are nearby. Call them if you encounter any danger." Ye Moxun seemed worried about leaving her behind and repeatedly gave her these instructions.
"Be careful when you go to the county. Don't worry about me here. Who can touch me?" Under normal circumstances, no one can beat her. If she really encounters someone she can't handle, doesn't she still have her spatial ability?
"I'm leaving now," Ye Moxun glanced at Xia He in the courtyard, his words carrying a hidden meaning, "That girl isn't as honest as she seems, so be careful."
"Okay, I'm not that stupid." This person is getting more and more long-winded, finding fault with everyone and always feeling that others want to harm her. Could it be that she has paranoia?
If Ye Moxun knew what she was thinking, he would definitely be furious. Who was he being so careful for? What a heartless girl! He had spoiled her for nothing.
As the hour of Chen (7-9 AM) was approaching, Song Tantan gathered a few of his friends and Xia Ping and a few other boys for a running race. They ran from the village entrance to the village end and back, repeating this several times until they got the result.
The transport team's men couldn't outrun Xia Ping and his group of teenagers, and the men were quite resentful. They knew that if they lost, there would be no prize, but if they won, each of them would receive a silver tael as a reward.
“You know the village’s terrain well, so it’s not surprising that you can outrun us. Do you dare to have a few more rounds? This time we definitely won’t lose.” A young man with long arms and legs said with a look of unwillingness.
"This is a competition you yourselves wanted to have, so I won't be giving away any prizes. You'd better figure it out yourselves," Song Tantan said bluntly, determined not to be taken advantage of.
Once the test proved that Xia He and the others were indeed faster than ordinary people, she had a good idea of their speed. After getting the results, she decided not to interfere when they wanted to compete again.
"We don't want any prizes, we just want to prove ourselves. I refuse to believe that we can't outrun these kids and girls. It would be too embarrassing."
Besides Xia He and the eight-year-old girl, there were also two thirteen-year-old girls who participated in the competition earlier. They were incredibly fast, always faster than Song Tantan's group.
Those guys felt ashamed to lose to a young girl, so they kept clamoring to compete again, without considering that if they lost again, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?
Why not just make things difficult for yourself?
After several more rounds of competition, Song Tantan's group still lost, while Xia He and her group won. Song Tantan admired these people; to be able to train so fast showed that they had really put in a lot of hard work and had a good mentality.
"Although there's no silver reward, I can treat you to another meal of meat porridge, but you'll have to cook it yourselves." The main problem is that we still need to gather firewood, and the kitchen isn't very big, so cooking too much at once is quite troublesome. It's better to give them the rice and cured meat so they can cook it themselves when they get home.
It would be more convenient for everyone. There were only men here, and it wouldn't be appropriate for Xia He and the other girls to come over. After thinking about it, Song Tantan decided to have lunch with Xia He and the others.
"I also have some dried vegetables and dried mushrooms here. I'll put them in to cook later." Song Tantan handed the dried vegetables and mushrooms to Xia He.
The porridge was cooked quickly, and Xia He ladled out a large bowl and placed it in front of Song Tantan. "It smells so good with so many ingredients. It makes my mouth water just smelling it. Try it and see how it tastes."
Song Tantan took it and sniffed it hard. Hmm, she didn't smell anything unusual, so they probably hadn't tampered with it. Cough, actually, she had been watching the whole time. Even if they wanted to tamper with it, they couldn't escape her eyes. "Mmm, it smells really good. You guys eat some too. Why are you all staring at me?"
She took a bite, and it tasted really good; it seemed Xia He's cooking skills were quite good.
After lunch, Song Tantan, led by Xia He, took a walk around the village. Afterwards, she looked around the surrounding area. The place was not special and there was nothing to see. It was mostly weeds and thorn bushes, which was not fun at all. It would have been better to stay at home and sleep.
